About this app

ARM-MC turns your Android phone or tablet into a Minecraft server. No PC, no VPS, no port forwarding required.

Unlike Java-based server apps, ARM-MC uses a native Rust backend (PumpkinMC) that dramatically reduces RAM and CPU usage, making real multiplayer hosting practical on mobile hardware.

🚀 Custom Server Software Support
Upload and run your own .jar files to take full control of your server environment:
- Spigot & PaperMC, high-performance servers with full plugin support
- Fabric & NeoForge, modded worlds with your favourite gameplay enhancements
- Custom Jars, any compatible Java-based server software you choose

Note: ARM-MC does not provide .jar files. Users download them directly from the official project websites, keeping the app fully compliant with Google Play policies and the Minecraft EULA.

🛠️ Features
- Host on Android: Run a local server instantly using your phone’s hardware.
- No Port Forwarding: Get a free public address (URL) automatically via tunneling. Friends can join from anywhere.
- Java & Bedrock Support: compatible with both major Minecraft editions
- Mobile-Optimised Performance: native Rust core runs efficiently in the background on Android SoCs
- Full Server Management: RCON support, native dashboard, player kick/ban, game rule controls

⚠️ Early Access
PumpkinMC is currently in Public ALPA. It is perfect for Creative mode, minigames, and testing. Advanced Survival features (Mob AI, Nether/End dimensions) are currently in development as PumpkinMC evolves. For full server support, provide your own JAR file.

💡 Perfect For
- Private SMPs, small survival or creative worlds for you and your friends
- Plugin & Mod Testing, a portable sandbox for developers
- Community Hangouts, a central hub for your group to meet
- Learning, understand server infrastructure and networking without any financial commitment

Ratings and reviews

Very cool software. I personally host a minecraft server with a pc at home with ~50 players daily and this is something I never really thought of. You could compare it similarly to aternos except it runs on your own device. This is an early version and doesn't have all of the features so it has very basic customization. Looking forward to what they add!

amazing. works perfectly and my s24 ultra handles it like a boss. edit: i went to start it up again to add a mod and it tells me its running in the background for a split second then disappears. I switch to a different app without closing it and go back and it stopped trying to run the server I un-installed it and it stopped the app from crashing but has the same issues

This app is honestly one of the best server hosting tools I’ve used on Android. It’s super easy to set up, runs smoothly, and makes hosting servers really accessible even without a PC. The only thing I’d really love to see is support for the latest Minecraft version (26.1.2). Adding that would make the app perfect, since a lot of players want to experience the newest features and updates.

What’s new

- Update Geyser to support Minecraft 26.2
- Paper and Fabric server options now display a list of available server versions and direct download links
- Added Aikar's flags as default optional java flags
